Previous years we certainly had a squad big enough for it to do so, however this year I'm not so sure ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous years we certainly had a squad big enough for it to do so, however this year I'm not so sure ? I am never happy with rule changes mid-season, but I think this might benefit us. Gives much more chance for a more attack minded coach to influence games. We can put some good young strikers in the mix in the last 20 minutes to start off with.

RadioactiveWaste Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Not a fan myself of extra subs, but i can see why the clubs want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Only benefit for us is that some of the youngsters excluded when we have a fully fit squad can be involved, eg. Whittaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Last 20 mins we could bring on the likes of Sibley, Whittaker and Ibe. Decent options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Looks like the bench increases to 9 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It helps us because we need to rotate the squad to keep people fresh but can't afford to drop one of our 'better' players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 The current position we are in as a club, I love this because it means more opportunities for the younger lads. Hopefully we make use of it and don't bring people on with 5 minute's to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our better players would have been fringe players 6 years ago. However we have to protect Jozwiak. Knight and Clarke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenBr Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Why not just allow 11 subs and let the whole team be changed. Go back to no subs at all would be preferable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Brolly Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Don't think rule changes should be made part way through a season, someone might benefit when others couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Rules should not be changed mid season because it obviously unbalances the results and then the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Instead of "substitutes" are we going to rebrand to "starters" and "finishers", Eddie Jones style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
